Small Businesses are getting into the act of exporting

More small businesses are exporting their products and services than they were three years ago, according to a survey conducted by the National Small Business Association. The survey also found that many small businesses that aren't exporting are interested in doing so in the future. The online survey of 500 small business owners found that 64 percent had sold merchandise or services to a customer in another country, up from 52 percent in 2010. The survey found that 63 percent of non-exporters said they would be interested in exporting if some of their concerns were addressed, a 20 percent jump from the 2010 survey.
